your mags failed replace 20 amp fuse and figure out cause probaly bad mags or transformers.

What is your amp draw? You could just have a bad I/O board.

replace 3 door switches, very cheap fix. bout $2.50 per switch and all you need is a screwdriver.

If transformer is looking burnt then replace it . It will show you F3 code once the transformer is. Totally burn. Tell me if you need help . I am tech for turbochef

there are little switches inside that the door hits when you close it. open both side panels then open and close the door. you'll see them in the upper left. there primary, secondary, and monitor. PSM. they either broke or something need adjusted. easy and cheap fix. you could take the leads off and jump them until you get switches. but they are a safety feature so do at your own risk.

You may need to replace the heater coils. Contact the manufacturer for details.

Call a tech and let him check t he t top heater. Lose connection maybe AT terminal OF CC heaTER

Relay . Also u have to update ut menu program using hi density card account with latest program .....

Heater...top or bottom. Call a tech

did you check transformers. also k1 , k2, k3, relays. also make sure all wires are put back right and the diodes are going in the right direction.

James 938 hit the nail on the head. These ovens are very good and tend to be maintenance free, however, when it does have a problem, it is an unusual one. Good luck and let us know how it does.

the most complicated error for this oven ... this error affects ur micorwave system .... this requires a tech to check ur unit

This might help you out: http://www.basequipment.com/v/service/TurboChef/NGC.pdf It's a service manual for the TurboChef NGC Tornado. Pay particular attention to pages 15 through 19. It shows you how to edit menus and to reset everything. Good luck!

ur high limit trip because ur heater overshoots the program setting for the temp replace ur k4/k5 solid state relay for it controls ur temp for the heater.

havent seen any fuse of this kind in turbochef. it only has 2x12amps and 20amps slow blow fuses

ur door microswitch defective ....

If the temperature reached at it operating temperature and oven display doesn't showing how much time left for ready screen then most probably its IO board gone. I have seen many cases like this, and replacing IO Board fixed the problem. Please rate my work Thanks Sagar
